Chief Minister Hemant Soren has taken a concrete measure towards providing quality education to the students of Jharkhand by converting government schools into Schools of Excellence. In the first phase, the proposed 80 schools across all the districts of the State are being transformed into School of Excellence. The education department has already floated a tender for the same. Initially, a tender for 27 schools has been floated by the department and another tender for the remaining 53 schools will be floated soon.

As per the vision of the CM, almost 5,000 government-run schools will be transformed into modern Education facilities. Given this, the education department has already come into action and the work is being done on war footing. It is aimed that by the start of the 2022-23 academic session, 80 district-level schools of excellence would be ready to cater to almost 2,00,000 students from across the state.

The government has planned to develop a world-class education in all the Schools of Excellence. The schools will be equipped with an uninterrupted electricity supply, the installation of eye-friendly lights and a clean Atmosphere. The classrooms will be equipped with smart board facilities where students can learn through the virtual and 3D representation of subject material.

The development of these schools is being planned on the model of private schools and will ensure that a child from the marginalized sections of the Society gets quality education which is at par with private schools. Given this, separate labs, libraries, and STEM Labs will be established in each school.

The governments target is to operationalise 80 district level schools of excellence before the start of the session 2022-23, 329 block schools before the session of 2023-24 and more than 4,000 Panchayat level schools before the session of 2024-25.
